I missed this when it first came out, but am grateful now: many thanks to Desmond Traynor for reviewing Pacazo in The Sunday Independent. He says, “(T)he writing is beautifully cadenced, recalling the arresting simplicity of William Carlos Williams.” Just wait until he sees my wheelbarrows full of plums.

Many thanks to Chris Narozny for reading (and recommending) Pacazo: “Roy Kesey’s Pacazo offers just about everything you could ever think to love in a novel: a narrator with a keen mind and a messy life; paragraphs that, structurally, move like sonnets; and a clearly delineated plot serving as a kind of mooring post for digressions that, in true Cervantean fashion, are not digressions at all but rather the real substance of the book... This is the best novel I’ve read in a long while.”
